Hi Gertrude,
As there is no mortgage on the property, you can ask your husband's sister to sign a warranty deed and transfer her share of the property to you. When she signs the deed, you can pay off the agreed amount. Your husband's sister can contact a real estate attorney and get the warranty deed drafted. You don't need a loan to get the property transferred in your name.

Since the agreed amount is $300,000, we planned on getting a mortgage, probably for $200.000. What type of mortgage is recommended in such a situation? Do we need a regular closing? We're in NYC. We're told that a closing is about $10,000. Thanks.
hi gertrude,
you can go for a conventional loan. if you want to refinance your mortgage, then you'll have to go for a regular closing. the closing costs will vary from state to state. you should contact other lenders of your area and check out the closing costs they will charge you. this will give you an idea as to which lender you should go for.

Using Google to search my question regarding this particular problem...
My wife and I got married 4 years ago and my wife wants my name added into her mortgage account. The home was built by Habitat for Humanity in 1996 for my wife who is disabled.
I called our bank and checked to see if my name can be added into the mortgage account and they stated that the only way to do that is to refinance the account. Our interest rate is 0% and we don't want to lose that in order to refinance.
They also told me that if my wife passes, the mortgage company will then want a full payment on the balance owed or the house will face foreclosure as a result.
What should I do?

It is true that you will be able to add your name to the mortgage by refinancing the present mortgage. You should speak to the lender and check whether or not you will be able to maintain 0% interest after you refinance the mortgage. If the lender agrees to it, then you will be able to refinance the loan.
Well I did that and they said they won't honor the present 0% interest. My wife's previous husband, a jerk, wife beater, control freak, etc. ruined her credit history by racking up all sorts of debts that the collectors is hounding her, so refinancing will be out of the question. Mine is medical bills so I'm out of the equation as well.
This is worrying me, because my wife's health is in the decline and has been for 2 1/2 years. She had a congestive heart failure, renal failure, respiratory arrest and a stroke. Since she's a renal patient and has to go through dialysis 3 times a week. The Renal Doctor explained to us that renal patients have a life expectancy of 2-5 years.
So if anything happens to my wife, the mortgage company stated that they will expect the entire balance to be paid in full or they will foreclose the home. Despite that my wife placed my name in her will as a living estate, meaning I can live here until the day I die, then the house will go to her kids.
But with the mortgage as is, the will be a moot point.
Also, to refinance I am told, most banks or mortgage companies will not refinance if the amount owed is less than 15k, so the current balance right now is less than 13k.
So I am scared and don't know what to do.

Hi Neal!
Welcome to forums!
I can understand what you are going through. Unless you refinance the mortgage, your name won't be added to the property deed. If you have friends and relatives, then you can take their help in paying off the loan. You can sign an agreement with them so that you can pay them accordingly later on.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

If there was a way to get the current balance owed paid off, what's the next step to get my name on the property deed?
Hi Neal,
Once the current loan balance is paid off, you can sign a quitclaim deed and transfer your share of the property to someone else.

does my wife's collection affect the DTI for buying a house?
Hi Guest,
As far as I can understand, if an account has been sent to collections, it will affect your wife's DTI (debt to income) ratio.

My fiancee already has a house that is financed. We are getting married in October and want to know how to add my name to the deed without refinancing?
Hi Fancy!
Welcome to forums!
You can ask your fiancee to add your name to the property deed by signing a quitclaim deed. However, once your name is added to the property deed, there are chances that the lender will ask you to refinance the mortgage along with your fiancee.
